MARTIN LUTHER KING EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER

Martin Luther King Early Childhood Center is a Title I public prekindergarten school that is part of the Roosevelt Elementary District (4279) school district, located in Phoenix, AZ with about 107 students. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 18 teachers, Martin Luther King Early Childhood Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Martin Luther King Early Childhood Center, located in Phoenix, Arizona, is a specialized educational facility operating under the Roosevelt School District.
